Discover timeless elegance in this extraordinary historic Victorian gem, crafted in 1896 by renowned Cape architect William Patrick Henry Black. Spread across three characterful floors, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom residence in sought-after Oranjezicht marries period splendour with comfortable everyday living.

The ground floor welcomes you with a dedicated wine cellar — a rare find and a nod to the home's entertaining heritage. Ascending to the first floor, two well-proportioned bedrooms each feature their own working fireplace, adding warmth and authentic Victorian charm. A stylishly appointed guest bathroom and a private outdoor area complete this level.

The second floor is the social heart of the home: a bright, airy kitchen — fitted with ample counter space and a stainless-steel fridge — opens directly onto a generous dining area and a comfortable lounge. Original tongue-and-groove ceilings, wide-plank hardwood floors, ornate cast-iron chandeliers, and classic sash windows underline the home's architectural pedigree throughout. The lounge flows through double French doors onto a substantial wooden deck and onto the ornately balustraded front balcony, where hanging planters and wind chimes set a relaxed, village-like scene, all framed by sweeping views across the Cape Town city bowl towards the mountains.

The crowning glory is the third-floor bedroom, which offers spectacular near-360-degree views of Cape Town — a daily reminder of the city's incomparable setting.

Located in the leafy, walkable suburb of Oranjezicht, this home is moments from the vibrant De Waal Park precinct and a short drive from the V&A Waterfront and the CBD.
